# ABSTRACT: export shared globs with Sub::Exporter collectors

use Scalar::Util ();

use Sub::Exporter -setup => [ qw(glob_exporter) ];

#pod =head1 SYNOPSIS
#pod
#pod First, you write something that exports globs:
#pod
#pod   package Shared::Symbol;
#pod
#pod   use Sub::Exporter;
#pod   use Sub::Exporter::GlobExport qw(glob_exporter);
#pod
#pod   use Sub::Exporter -setup => {
#pod     ...
#pod     collectors => { '$Symbol' => glob_exporter(Symbol => \'_shared_globref') },
#pod   };
#pod
#pod   sub _shared_globref { return \*Common }
#pod
#pod Now other code can import C<$Symbol> and get their C<*Symbol> made an alias to
#pod C<*Shared::Symbol::Common>.
#pod
#pod If you don't know what this means or why you'd want to do it, you may want to
#pod stop reading now.
#pod
#pod The other class can do something like this:
#pod
#pod   use Shared::Symbol '$Symbol';
#pod
#pod   print $Symbol; # prints the scalar entry of *Shared::Symbol::Common
#pod
#pod ...or...
#pod
#pod   use Shared::Symbol '$Symbol' => { -as => 'SharedSymbol' };
#pod
#pod   print $SharedSymbol; # prints the scalar entry of *Shared::Symbol::Common
#pod
#pod ...or...
#pod
#pod   my $glob;
#pod   use Shared::Symbol '$Symbol' => { -as => \$glob };
#pod
#pod   print $$glob; # prints the scalar entry of *Shared::Symbol::Common
#pod
#pod =head1 OVERVIEW
#pod
#pod Sub::Exporter::GlobExporter provides only one routine, C, which
#pod may be called either by its full name or may be imported on request.
#pod
#pod   my $exporter = glob_exporter( $default_name, $globref_locator );
#pod
#pod The routine returns a L
#pod Configuration> that will export a glob into the importing package.  It will
#pod export it under the name C<$default_name>, unless an alternate name is given
#pod (as shown above).  The glob that is installed is specified by the
#pod C<$globref_locator>, which can be either the globref itself, or a reference to
#pod a string which will be called on the exporter
#pod
#pod For an example, see the L, in which a method is defined to produce
#pod the globref to share.  This allows the glob-exporting package to be subclassed,
#pod so the subclass may choose to either re-use the same glob when exporting or to
#pod export a new one.
#pod
#pod If there are entries in the arguments to the globref-exporting collector
#pod I than those beginning with a dash, a hashref of them will be passed to
#pod the globref locator.  In other words, if we were to write this:
#pod
#pod   use Shared::Symbol '$Symbol' => { arg => 1, -as => 2 };
#pod
#pod It would result in a call like the following:
#pod
#pod   my $globref = Shared::Symbol->_shared_globref({ arg => 1 });
#pod
